## Description

A simple, lightweight block for displaying each line of text at full width, no matter
the length of the text. No JavaScript.

Star the project on GitHub: [https://github.com/kevinbatdorf/fit-to-width](https://github.com/kevinbatdorf/fit-to-width)

_Note_: if you are installing it for the first time from the Block Inserter, WordPress
has a bug where it doesn’t load block styles into the iFrame, so you will need to
refresh.

## FAQ

### What about browser support?

See here [https://caniuse.com/mdn-css_at-rules_property](https://caniuse.com/mdn-css_at-rules_property)

### How did you do it?

For a detailed explanation of how this works, see [https://kizu.dev/fit-to-width](https://kizu.dev/fit-to-width).

### Is it accessible?

I guess that depends on your perspective and legal requirements. First thing I’ll
say is that this technique outshines the alternatives, and those alternatives also
suffer from the same caveat:

It won’t pass [Success Criterion 1.4.4 Resize Text](https://w3c.github.io/wcag/guidelines/#resize-text)
when the zoom is dependent on the viewport.

I’m by no means an expert on this, so if you’re interested in the topic, there’s
a good discussion on this GitHub issue: [Feature for making text always fit the width of its parent](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2528)
that I recommend reading.

There are arguments that if you maintain a width legible enough then zooming may
not be an issue. My advice, however, is that you make sure that your text is able
to zoom in up to 2em in size for all screen widths (press cmd/ctrl +/- to test).
